Carter Hits 2 home runs in Royals Win
Gary Carter helped his team muscle past the Texas Rangers, 6-4. In the game, the Kansas City first baseman belted 2 home runs, while adding 4 RBI and scoring twice. Orel Hershiser earned the save, his 11th in 20 tries. Kansas City is now 58-75.

Kansas City took a 4-1 lead on Carter's 38th home run of the season. The 3-run home run, which he hit off Fernando Valenzuela in the bottom of the sixth, propelled Kansas City to the win.

"If we play like this, we can win a lot of games," Carter told the Kansas City Observer.
